Have you seen the popular TV show called The Voice? It’s an American singing competition where four coaches, who are also professional singers, hit a red button if they want the contestant on their team.
What are the coaches listening for? What attracts them to the sound of a singer? Is it tone, talent, pitch? Maybe it’s something more like passion, power or the purpose of their song?
What does our Almighty Father desire to hear from the believer’s voice? Is it long prayers that impress men? No. Is it fancy, theological suppositions? No. The Father desires to hear His redeemed children lift their faith-filled voices, declaring His Word with power, authority and confidence! (See Matthew 21:21.)
It’s a great tragedy that many Christians seemed to have lost their voices. They have become timid, fearful, quieted and, in some cases, even ashamed. As defined by Merriam-Webster, “cancel culture” carries the idea of mass canceling to show disapproval.
Is it something new? Not at all. Satan has been trying to cancel the Word of God since he spoke to Eve in the Garden of Eden, and we must no longer be silenced! (See Genesis 3:1.)
It’s time Christians once again discover the power of their voices in prayer, worship, declaration, supplication, proclamation and exultation. We must, like Joshua’s generation, learn to shout when God says to shout. Jesus Christ told us to release our faith to move mountains by speaking. Yes!
God didn’t teach us to “think” to the mountain. He didn’t teach us to write to the mountain. He told us to speak to the mountain! (See Matthew 21:21.) Great power is released when we speak what God speaks. {eoa}
